You can compare benchmarks for identical cards across various configurations, and many games include VRAM buffer settings.

Not only from a technical angle, but also in terms of storylines and plots. Many new games are essentially old ones with slight changes and updated graphics. The game I was referring to earlier is Far Cry 5 from 2018. The end user cannot directly modify the VRAM buffer. Various configurations using the same cards require additional explanations, isn't it about the rest of the system?

Certainly, there are cards with various VRAM buffer sizes—8GB and higher for 1080p—and that’s why you might be wondering about your point. The VRAM buffer refers to the frame buffer, which stores all the image data for the current frame being displayed. Your question also touches on why the HWiNFO app doesn’t always accurately show VRAM usage during background game sessions.
